Finally figured out how to not suck at Genji. I find that he's actually the best way to kill annoying Bastion holds since his Deflect basically reflects all the damage back and instant-kills them.

Still can't tell if Swift Strike actually damages enemies that I pass through though, or if it only damages at the end of the dash. Or how to use Dragonblade without flailing around like a madman.

Pretty sure Swift Strike damage any enemy you pass through, and from what I've seen Genji players do, when using dragon blade, use it near an enemy, or within dash range, kill them, insta-get dash and repeat. (I really hate Genji. At least good Genjis) That was likely what you were doing anyway, so yay not helping.

Actually, I never used the dash that often because I keep sucking at it. Thanks a lot, I didn't know Dragonblade's damage could be combined with the dash. I'll try that when the game comes out.

Overwatch released their third hero introduction short-film called 'Dragons'. Obviously, it's about Hanzo and Genji.

I love the artstyle, the animation is great as always, and thankfully the dialogue isn't as bad as the 2nd one with that terrible 'Spiders have no emotions' line... but if I have to hear the words 'honour' and 'redemption' one more damn time I'm going to scream.

Funnily enough, one Youtuber uploaded a video a few hours before this became live predicting the plot of the next short. Entitled 'Dragunz'.

Made a Discord channel for Overwatch, feel free to join and invite anyone. It's not strictly a Nom channel so there's a lot of new and old faces. We're currently in the process of migrating from another channel though so as of this posting, there's only 6 people in it out of about 20 or so from the previous channel. The link doesn't expire, but I'll change it if I have to. https://discord.gg/011u1zN66gz9PyK3D

I don't have any rules, just try not to piss anyone off. If things get out of hand then I'll execute with extreme prejudice.

I keep getting confused at the terminology this game uses for payload maps.

If I'm defending, why am I attacking the payload? If I'm attacking, why am I constantly having to be near the thing I'm supposedly attacking like I was escorting it? Who's doing what?

Also doesn't help that unless you've been to the map before, you don't know what kind of map type it is since you're always either attacking or defending. Would be nice to know the map type with the map name (like CTP, Payload, etc). Minor gripe since you can change heroes anytime, but a gripe nonetheless.

I agree the loading screen should have stated what type of game mode you're getting into.
